Chinese Breeze Graded Reader Series, Level 2: 500 Word Level: Secrets of a Computer Company - The Second Story from Zhongguancun
Date Added: 12/11/2012 by Justin
I have read the "Secrets of a Computer Company" and "An Old Painting" in the 500-word series. The words used seem to roughly approximate the words in the HSK3 vocabulary list, so if you are studying at that level these books are excellent for practising your reading and (using the accompanying CD) listening comprehension. Great value too....

Beautiful and detailed maps (in both English and Chinese).
Extensive information section in the guidebook (in Chinese only).
This is more of a huge map with a guidebook, rather than an "atlas". Nevertheless, it serves it purpose very well and it's an excellent map....
